Shatta Wale, a renowned Ghanaian musician, has thrown his weight behind former President John Mahama's bid to return to office. In a recent statement, Shatta Wale expressed his admiration for Mahama's leadership style, particularly his commitment to empowering the youth.

According to Shatta Wale, Mahama's administration provided numerous opportunities for young people to thrive, and he believes that the former President is the right leader to take Ghana forward. Shatta Wale's endorsement is significant, given his massive following and influence among Ghanaian youth.

Shatta Wale's decision to endorse Mahama is also personal. He revealed that during Mahama's tenure, he received opportunities from the presidency, which helped to boost his music career. Additionally, Shatta Wale praised Julius Debrah, the former Chief of Staff, for showing him respect as an artiste.

In contrast, Shatta Wale expressed disappointment with the current government, led by President Akufo-Addo. He claimed that the government has not provided the same level of support to artistes as Mahama's administration did. When asked if other artistes are benefiting from the current government, Shatta Wale simply replied, "we don't see them."

Shatta Wale's endorsement of Mahama is likely to generate significant attention and debate in Ghana's political landscape. While some may view his endorsement as a celebrity stunt, others may see it as a genuine expression of support for a leader who has demonstrated a commitment to empowering young people.

Ultimately, Shatta Wale's endorsement of Mahama highlights the importance of leadership in empowering young people and promoting economic development. As Ghana prepares for its upcoming elections, Shatta Wale's message serves as a reminder to voters to choose leaders who prioritize the needs and aspirations of the youth.
